Question / Help Why do I only have the 64bit and no 32bit?

So the first time I downloaded OBS was a couple months ago. When I opened the file to make shortcuts there would be 2 versions a 32 and a 64bit. Depending on what game I played I would switch in between them. But with the version I have now, 51b, there seems to be only the 64bit version. I got the new version by deleting the old version and down loading the new one. Is there something I am missing? When I go into the OBS file there there is are 4 folders(64bit, locale, plugins, shaders) then there are some PDB files, uninstall file, and the program OBS file. If I click that it seems to run the 64bit version. If I go into the 64bit folder it looks the same(except for no 64bit folder) and if I run that OBS file it give me the same 64bit program running. The reason I know it is the same program is because if I try to run both it just pop up the one that I already had open. So the question is, where is the 32bit program file. I am just not downloading it or is it in the folder and i'm just stupid? Help would be much appreciated.

It's a change that has been made to the game capture function. the application it self would still run in 32bit or 64 bit depending on what you choose.

If you run an obs build from the 32bit folder and game capture a 64bit game then the application would run in 32bit mode but game capture will adapt to the game.

As for obs not running multiple instances that should be the default behavior regardless of the build. you can create a shortcut of the exe file and add -multi at the end of the file path to be allowed to run multiple obs windows/process's at the same time.
